Opposition says Pacific ministry is being 'run down' despite Prime Minister's pledge

Controversial fisheries reforms abandoned until after election, minister cites ‘disharmony’ in Parliament

Budget urgency. We finished up at midnight and will be back at it at 9am

Green Party fisheries spokesperson Teanau Tuiono said Jones' overall intention was to limit people's ability to hold the government to account "He seems to be more worried about finding people who might leak footage of people breaking the law, rather than the actual law-breaking itself."

Fisheries Minister Shane Jones overrode official advice for fines related to leaking fishing boat footage

Documents reveal the minister was told the proposed maximum fine, five times a Privacy Act breach penalty, was "unreasonable".

The Green Party is calling on the Luxon Government to join France, Italy, Spain and other nations to condemn Israel's attacks in the strongest terms, and defend the ceasefire.

In case New Zealanders don’t realise, that’s Winston Peters and our flag on the left there. This is what we’re getting associated with.

Marco Rubio is spineless and complicit.

Trump is threatening to erase an entire civilisation. We are watching genocide and war crimes become normalised in real time - Just look at Gaza. And where is the Minister for Foreign Affairs? In the United States, playing footsies with Rubio

These unhinged rants are why we should not be following the US into war. Also a reminder that Israel and the US started this war by dropping a bomb on a school full of children. Say no to AUKUS. Say no to US military payloads being launched from Aotearoa soil.

The Green Party is warning that the Government’s complete rewrite of the Fisheries Act will privatise one of our largest public assets and push fish stocks closer to wipe out

“What we’re being told here in New Zealand is that we’re in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis,” said Teanau Tuiono, a member of Parliament from the left-wing Greens. “But all of a sudden there’s 12 billion dollars to do what, in my mind, Trump wants us to do,” he said

So bad they had to reel it back but there are still plent of fish hooks in this Bill. The National Party has truly given up on our environment by allowing Shane Jones and his mates to re-write the Fisheries Act at the expense of public interests.

Pacific peoples should be able to travel to Aotearoa to visit their family without needing to jump through bureaucratic hoops to get a visitor visa approved. Otherwise all this talk from Govt saying we are a part of a family of Pacific nations is just that. All talk.

Brooke van Velden looked at the lowest-paid workers in this country and considered giving them absolutely nothing, while the cost of everything around them kept going up. Considering a 0% increase of the minimum wage is a slap in the face to workers who are already struggling to get by

Workplace Relations Minister Brooke van Velden considered a minimum wage freeze

Documents show Brooke van Velden circulated a paper including a 0% minimum wage update, despite a coalition agreement with NZ First committed to “moderate” increases.

The Government should scrap visitor visa barriers for Pacific Islanders, not just create a 12-month trial of lower fees. Today's announcement is largely a reversal of their own October 2024 decision, when they hiked the total cost from $171 to $216. Calling this a generous initiative is misleading.

Important issues in play here -- the stories told about MethaneSAT don't add up. (And they should add up to the $30M in public money that was poured into it) And the people who won't tell us what happened play a key role in deciding what missions can launch from New Zealand soil.

Teanau Tuiono@teanau.bsky.social · 5mo ago

There are still unresolved questions about MethaneSAT and so support members of the science community who have asked the Auditor General to take a look at whether we have been told the full picuture about the $30M in public money that it received.
